Review The Fabulous – Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara

Today's "Review The Fabulous" post is about the new Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara, which is supposed to give your lashes a glamorous volume and a Hollywood like curve.

The Mascara
The Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara in N° 01 So Black retails at around 28,50 € (in Germany). The faces of its campaign are Daria Werbowy and Betty Boop, who you probably all know as well as her world-famous sentence "Poo-poo-pee-doo". At the end of the post there's a video attached in which you can see them both in action ;) The Brush
When buying a mascara I mostly can tell by the look of the brush if it is worth buying or not. And this one is a brush I can work with ;). It has two flat sides for a perfect coverage of your lashes and for instant volume. And two rounded ones for nicely separated and long lashes.

The Formula
Not only the shape of the brush is responsible for a terrific look, but also the formula of the mascara. The Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara combines soft and hard waxes. The soft ones are for covering and adding volume to the lashes and the hard ones for fixating the curve. A perfect combination. The formula smells slightly perfumed, which I personally like but others might find irritating. Especially the ones with sensitive eyes. But that's just a guess.

My Verdict
I really like the Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara as it gives my lashes a great volume and also separates them. I hate when they are sticking together and therefore are looking like fly legs.
With this one I first of all apply the mascara with the flat side of the brush until I reach the effect I wish for. I then use one of the rounded sides for separating my lashes. For me the Hypnôse Star Mascara feels light on my eyes and I experienced it to be quite long-lasting. I am really satisfied with the result and also love the smell of it. And isn't its sparkly package beautiful?

A huge thank you to Lancôme Germany for sending me this fabulous mascara!!
